Welcome to the Scottish Institute for Research in Economics (SIRE)

 

The Scottish Institute for Research in Economics (SIRE) is the outcome of a substantial investment in Economics Research in Scotland (approximately £21 million over 5 years) by the Scottish Funding Council and ten participating universities. It builds on the distinguished tradition of Economics in Scotland, with eminent contributions from, among others, Adam Smith and David Hume, and the more recent history of successful collaboration in the Scottish Graduate Programme in Economics, founded in 1989.

 

 

SIRE pools key areas of strength within the Scottish Economics research base in three thematic programmes:

  • Behaviour, Incentives and Contracts

  • Work and Well-being

  • Macroeconomics, Financial Linkages and the Regions

The administrative centre of SIRE is based at the University of Edinburgh, where the SIRE Director, John Moore, and Executive Director, Stuart Sayer, are located. In addition to its administrative and co-ordinating functions, the SIRE Centre organises and host events and activities which exploit exciting synergies that span across SIREs three thematic research programme.

 

Activity reports covering recruitment and highlights of all the events, including the launch conference, are now available to download:

 

SIRE report 1 (July 07-Jan 08)

SIRE report 2 (Oct 07-Sept 08)

SIRE report 3 (oct 08- Sept 09)
